I found a book in our home library the other day entitled Women Who Run with the Wolves, by Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Ph.D. The inside jacket cover states:

“Within every woman there is a wild and natural creature, a powerful force, filled with good instincts, passionate creativity, and ageless knowing. Her name is Wild Woman, but she is an endangered species. Though the gifts of wildish nature come to us at birth, society’s attempt to ‘civilize’ us into rigid roles has plundered this treasure, and muffled the deep, life-giving messages of our own souls. Without Wild Woman, we become over-domesticated, fearful, uncreative, trapped…

…In Women Who Run With The Wolves, Dr. Estes has created a new lexicon for describing the female psyche. Fertile and life-giving, it is a psychology of women in the truest sense, a knowing of the soul.”

I want to study this in the context of community. Anyone want to do a weekly study of this marvelous book?

I (lady) replace into not very involved in feminism in any respect, many times omitted it, till I appeared up a concern online and located it being reported on a feminist web site. I hung around and examine some articles and whilst the techniques-set of the guy writing it truly aggravated me, additionally they tended to p.c.. on little issues that i did not think of mattered... i replace into particularly disturbed by each and every of the valid factors. unquestionably they (society at super, women human beings-haters and so on) are actually not involved. i'm not involved in starting to be an indignant feminist so i don't decide to pay attention extra of what they might desire to assert the two. The books by black those with a chip on their shoulder on the different hand I actual have regrettably all started interpreting some yet have been given so unbelievably indignant by the sheer stupidity, pointlessness, and racism that I had to close those too. lack of understanding is bliss as they say. It additionally facilitates them make stupid irrational arguments they initiate attempting to define human beings without actual understanding what they define themselves as , or what they're attempting to assert (the human beings on right here against the feminists) i think of in the event that they desire absolutely everyone to pay attention in any respect, they might desire to drop the tone, because it places human beings off and makes them sound like indignant irrational human beings ranting somewhat than allowing human beings to concentration on their factors.
